A Black technician is suing SpaceX for workplace discrimination, alleging he was fired for tardiness while caring for his daughter, who was recovering from a heart transplant.

President Trump said Elon Musk would have to 'head back to South Africa' without government subsides in response to Musk's criticism of his budget bill.
